2.Keep these instructions.

3.Heed all warnings.

4.Follow all instructions.

5.Do not use this apparatus near water.

6.Clean only with dry cloth.

7.Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with

the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15.Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the apparatus.

16. To completely disconnect this apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.

17.The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.

18.Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage “ within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

CA-5200 specifications

The Classe Audio CA-5200 is a high-performance power amplifier that exemplifies the pinnacle of audio engineering. Designed to deliver exceptional sound quality and robust power, the CA-5200 is a favorite among audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts alike.

One of the standout features of the CA-5200 is its impressive power output. With a five-channel configuration, it provides an astounding 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms, delivering superior dynamics and headroom. This makes it an ideal choice for driving a wide range of loudspeakers, from compact, bookshelf models to larger, floor-standing options. The amplifier can effortlessly handle the demands of both music and multichannel movie soundtracks, ensuring that every nuance is captured with fidelity.

The CA-5200 utilizes Class A/B amplification technology, which is renowned for its efficiency and warmth. This technology combines the benefits of Class A operation—characterized by low distortion and an open soundstage—with the efficiency of Class B operation. The result is a powerful amplifier that remains cooler in operation while still providing rich, detailed sound reproduction across the frequency spectrum.

Another essential feature of the CA-5200 is its advanced circuitry and build quality. The use of high-grade components throughout, including custom power transformers and large filter capacitors, ensures that the amplifier can handle transient peaks and demanding listening sessions without strain. The resulting sound is clear and dynamic, with an emphasis on accuracy and naturalness, catering to the most discerning listening tastes.

Classe Audio also integrates their proprietary AutoBias technology into the CA-5200, which automatically adjusts the bias settings of the output transistors for optimal performance under various load conditions. This feature ensures consistent sound quality, regardless of the dynamics of the material being played or the impedance of the connected speakers.

In terms of connectivity, the CA-5200 offers multiple input options, allowing for seamless integration into a variety of audio systems. The amplifier’s front panel is carefully designed, featuring easy-to-read indicators and user-friendly controls, making it simple to operate even in a complex setup.

Overall, the Classe Audio CA-5200 stands out as a powerful and versatile amplifier that marries technology with craftsmanship. Whether used in a dedicated two-channel audiophile setup or as part of an immersive home theater experience, the CA-5200 delivers the sonic performance that captivates and engages music and movie lovers alike.
